Chapter Three

To the side is Avery >>>>>>>>>>>>

Tiffany's POV:


I wake up feeling drowsy, my eyes flutter open and I look around to see I'm still in the nurse's office. I hop up off the bed and grab my bag and head out of the room, just as I do though I bump into someone shorter than me, just as I'm about to apologise I see who it is.


"Tiffany Veyne. Where the hell have you been all day? Hmm, I was looking for you during break and I couldn't find you, I heard a rumour that you-" She pauses and looks at the room behind me, "That wasn't a rumor was it? Omgosh Tiff are you ok? What happened?" Avery asks in a rush and I smile slightly,


"Slow down gurl. I wasn't feeling well so I was in the nurse's office. I've been asleep for a while, what time is it?" I ask her and she smiles,


"Lucky for you school is over. If you want I'll give you a ride home, I don't want you catching the bus if your not feeling well." Avery tells me and I smile,


"Sure. Thanks, I owe you one."


"You owe me nothing. That's what friends are for, to care for one another. You know your not really my friend but my sister. I was also soo worried, I left the classroom at full speed just to see if your ok and you are, thank goodness. Tessa just told me like five minutes ago that you were here, I wish I found out sooner." 


"I'm ok really. You don't have to worry. Are you seeing Mia this afternoon?" I ask and she shake's her head,


"Nope, she said she had a test to study for."


"Ok good, then we can chill at mine and watch a movie or something. What do you say?" I ask and she smiles brightly,


"Of course, then I'll just have to make a pit stop and get Ben and Jerry's. No movie is complete without Ben and Jerry's." Avery tells me and I give her a hug,


"That's my girl." 



So after about thirty minutes in the store grabbing more than just Ben and Jerry's, we also pick up popcorn, lollies, energy drinks and chips. Once all is paid for we head back to mine, as soon as we enter the door mom smiles at us,


"Hello girls. Avery how are you sweetie? Long time no see." 


"Heh yea, it's been a while. I'm very well thank you, how are you Jane?" Avery answers with a polite smile, mom nods,


"I'm doing well also. Are you going to be joining us for dinner?" Mom asks her and Avery looks to me and then nods,


"Sure, why not." She smiles and so does mom,


"Great, then I'll get started. I'm cooking home made ricotta and spinach, and beef ravioli. Your favourite." She says looking at both of us and she is right ravioli is both mine and Avery's favourite but above that is Ben and Jerry's. Yumm.


"We'll be upstairs mom." I say, we both head upstairs but mom calls up behind up,


"You girls better not eat too much junk food before dinner, oh and don't give any to Claire, not that I like to be rude to my daughter but I really don't want her to go all hypo on me." Mom says and I laugh lightly,


"I only got her a juice and a chocolate bar. I'll give them to her after dinner." I tell her and she nods in approval,


"That's fine. Now carry along, and I'll call you down when dinner is ready." 


We both nod and continue up to my room.



"So what's it going to be? Hot ass actors or romance?" Avery asks with a wink and I laugh,


"Hey, if you want hot sexy actors we can watch Step Up." I say with a wink and she smirks,


"Step Up Revolution?" She asks, waggling her eyebrows,


"Oh yea. It has my baby Ryan Guzman in it!" I exclaim with a wink and she laughs.


"Most definitely."


So with that I pop the DVD into the DVD player and we watch the movie enjoying Ryan's amazingly hot body as he moves to the music as he dances topless, while eating Ben and Jerry's.



After about thirty minutes we were called down for dinner and we take our seat at the dinning table. Dad sits by mom on the other side of the table and Claire sits beside me, eating her ricotta and spinach ravioli. As soon as the pasta touched my lips, I moan in my head at the taste, delish. We talk about school, and things we want to do when we leave, along with lots of laughter and jokes being made. Once everyone finishes dinner I hand over a chocolate bar and juice over to Claire who jumps in joy. 


But since it was getting late Avery had to leave, so now here I am sitting in my room doing nothing. I take a sip of water and decide to at least do a bit of home work. Just as I pull out my books, a box falls out of my bag with a message saying to take two every twenty four hours. That just reminds me, those pain killers worked. I haven't been in pain since I've take those pills. So they must have worked their magic on me. Well I guess that is a good thing right. I take the pills out to inspect them to see that I only have four left, these will last me two days, two days without pain. Well this could be a good thing.



Beep.


Beep.


Beep.


As usual I get up and get ready for school. Quickly getting changed into a cute pair of black high waisted shorts that stop an inch under my butt along with a cute collared dark blue no sleeve blouse. And to finish I add my low black converse, I'm already five feet seven, no need to be any taller than that. Once I finish getting dressed, I complete my usual routine of fixing my hair in a messy bun and brushing my teeth and adding lip gloss to my lips. I grab my bag and head to downstairs to see my family before I head off, my dad is still here when I get downstairs which is unusual since he goes to work early. 


"Hey!" I say, walking up to my mom and dad kissing them on their cheek, and I give my little sister a hug and a kiss on her cheek too. 


"Morning sweetie." My mom says and I smile, grabbing a piece of toast.


"Your still here dad, I would have thought you would be at work by now." I say and he laughs lightly,


"Sweetie, you must have forgot. I have the later shift today, so I don't start till midday." He tell me and I nod,


"Ok, well I better get going if I don't want to miss the bus, bye." I say with a wave and quickly head for the bus stop. When I get there the bus is just arriving and I quickly show the bus driver my pass and take a seat four rows from the front. 


The pain still hasn't come back and I'm grateful for that. 



As soon as the bus arrives at the school I meet up with Avery, and take our seat in our normal hang out, by the trees.


"So I heard another rumor today." She says in a sing song tone, "Well someone said that something's going on between you and Kyle."


"Haha. What? Noo, nothing is going on between me and that jerk. Did I not mention that he is a jerk?" I say and she raises a brow,


"No, you did not." Avery says slowly, "What did he do?" She asks and I shrug,


"I had to show him around the school and he ditches me towards the end of the tour, when I confronted him he was with Celeste, he then attempted to try a move on me and told me I'm not worth his time. He annoys the hell out me, every time he sees me, even when it's out of school. It's annoying... he's annoying." I say, just thinking about it makes me really annoyed.


"Hold up, you just said he tried to make a move on you." 


"And he said that I'm not worth his time." I add,


"You also said that you saw him out of school."


"I never said that. Now your just twisting my words around Av."


"But you said he annoys you even when your out of school."


"Yes, but that's because he does. He only saw me once and approached me, why I don't know. But I'm telling you now that nothing is going on between the two of us." I tell her crossing my arms over my chest,


"Ok, ok. I obviously believe you Tiffany, calm. I just wanted to make sure." She says and I nod with a smile,


"You don't have to believe all the rumors you hear Av." I tell her with a small smile,


Rinnngggg. 


"Oh, I better get going. Don't want to be late." Av says quickly gathering her things just before she leaves she says, "See you at lunch?" 


"Yea, see you!" I say with a wave. 


I rest my back against the tree for a few minutes and hop up, quickly going to my locker and collect my books. Then I rush to homeroom. 



Around midday I start feeling a little off, then it starts again. The burning pain, and it's twice as worse than the last time. Why is this happening to me? I wrap my arms around my chest really tightly, breathing in and out repetitively. I guess I better take those pills soon,


"Tiffany, are you ok?" The girl besides me asks me warily, catching the attention of a few of the students, "Do you need to go to the nurse's office?" She asks, worry in her eyes,


"No, I'm fi-"


"Miss Veyne, Miss Suton is everything ok?" Our teacher Mrs Calvic asks, I go to say yes but Kayla beats me to it.


"No, I think Tiffany needs to go to the nurse's office." Kayla tells her and Mrs Calvic nods,


"Ok, Tiffany take your things and go rest." She says to me with a slight smile, I guess trying to cheer me up and I put everything in my bag and Mrs Calvic passes me a slip and I rush to the nurse's office.



I arrive at the nurse's office around five minutes later. Walking with a burning pain in your chest is not the best at all. I see Mrs Adelia and she immediately hops off her chair when she sees me,


"Tiffany, are you ok?" She asks and guides me to the bed, I lay down and quickly put my hand in my bag searching for the pills.


"I will be, I just need my pain killers." I finally put my hand on the box and pop two pills out, Mrs Adelia quickly grabs me a cup of water and hands it to me. I pop the pills in my mouth and swallow with the water, once again I start to feel really really tired, "I just need some sleep." I say once again closing my eyes and fall into nothing but darkness.



"What do you mean I can't see her? She's like my sister! I need to see her!" 


"I'm sorry Avery, but Tiffany is resting at the moment-"


"Avery?" I ask in a groggy tone, blinking my eyes open slowly getting used to the bright lights,


"Tiffany! Yes it's me. Don't scare me like that again, ok?" Avery says sounding really worried. Soon feeling her small arms wrap around my body in a hug,


"It's ok Avery. I'm ok." I say, sitting up and wrapping my own arm around her. "Mrs Adelia, when am I able to leave?" I ask her and she shakes her head,


"Unless you want to go home, then I suggest you stay here for the rest of the afternoon." She looks down on her wrist and smiles, "You only have an hour till the bell anyway."


"I'll give you a ride again today Tiffany, I'm not letting you catch the bus until you feel better. But I can't stay over tonight, I'm meeting with Mia." She tells me and I waggle my brows at her,


"Ooo, a date with Mia aye." I say winking,


"Oh shush. Go back to sleep, I'll be back in an hour. Love you." She says leaving the small room with a air blown kiss and a wave. 


I guess that's what I'll be doing then.



After school I tell Avery to drop me off at the field, cause I have soccer practice today. She refused but I continue to annoy her by begging her and telling her that I need to go cause we have to practice before the match so we can do our best so we can get to the finals. After convincing her that I'll be ok, she finally drops me off at the field,


"If anything happens, you call both me and your family. Ok?" She says and I smile,


"Nothing will happen, but yes if anything does I'll be sure to call you first." I assure her and then she drives away.



"Ok, you all know we have the match next Saturday and you all have to be here. Every single one of you. I don't want any excuses. We want to be in the finals, and we will be, if we work as a team." Coach Summers tells us, standing with one foot up on the bench. "Ok, now give me forty push ups and two laps. Then we'll get to practice." With that she blows her whistle, making the loud noise echo around the change rooms. Making all us girls jog out to the field and start our push ups.


Thirty six. Thirty seven. Thirty eight. Thirty nine. Forty. 


With that I get up and run my laps around the large field. Tired as I am I continue on with my run, although I see an unusual black van sitting in the car park, but maybe it's just me being paranoid. 



"Girls, we have two more practices before the match. So as I've been saying these last few times. I need you to practice as much as you can when you go home this week. Forty push ups a day, and if you get a chance go for a run." Coach Summers tell us and we all head to the changing rooms. I grab my water bottle and take a long swig, gulping the water down my throat. 


As soon as I leave the the change rooms, I wipe my hand across my forehead wiping away the sweat that's dripping down my face from soccer practice. I soon notice a guy walking towards the field and I notice who it is, just great. 


"Hey Tiff!" He says and I grind my teeth together,


"Conaway. Are you like following me... again?" I ask walking straight past him and in my peripheral vision I see him shake his head and jog faster so he's by my side, "And my name is Tiffany not Tiff."


"Nope. I told you last time I was waiting for someone." Kyle tells me, ignoring my comment. I roll my eyes,


"What's your excuse this time?" I ask him and he smiles,


"I was just passing by and then I saw you and thought I'd say hi." He tells me with that freaking annoying smile on his lips,


"Just passing by. Yea whatever." I say walking a tad faster,


"I'm being serious. I only just moved here, so I wanted to know the area more. Know any good places I could get fast food?" Kyle asks and I look at him, knowing he'll just keep pestering me I give in. 


"Two streets down, there's a pizza joint. They have the best pizza's, oh and make sure to try the meat lovers pizza... the best." I tell him and then I sigh, "Now will you leave me alone." 


Just as I say that mom texts me asking me to pick up something for dinner, I ask her if she wants take out and she says she doesn't mind.


"Nope. You have to show me where it is, and if you want I'll give you a lift home." He tells me and I groan,


"What will it take you for you to leave me alone?" I sigh loudly and continue walking knowing he'll only keep annoying me if I don't and plus I need to get food, "Hurry up. I don't have long till I have to be home." I snap walking at a faster pace.


"No probs Tiff." With that my feet are suddenly off the floor and are in the air, being carried bridal style,


"What the hell are you doing? Put me down!! Conaway!!" I yell, gripping my bag to my chest.


"You said you need to hurry up, I'm just doing you a favour." He says with a smirk, starting to run at a faster pace, making my soccer team look at directly at us.


Kill. Me. Now. 



"Mmm! Tiff you are right, these pizzas are amazing!" Kyle moans, taking another large bite of his pizza.


"Tiffany not Tiff." I mumble to myself since he won't listen to me. "Good to know. Well now I have to go so, bye." I saying taking my two large pizzas and attempt to leave,


"Hold up, I'm giving you a ride home!" Kyle says, quickly closing his pizza box and hopping up putting an arm over my shoulder,


"Conaway." I say in a deadly tone and shrug his arm off me.


"Fine. Now lets go." He says pulling me behind him by my arm. 



We finally made it to my house in one piece and I take a deep breath, he drives at an awful speed. I grab my things and get out of his car, I close the door then I turn to face him through the open window.


"See you at school Tiff." He says and drives off.


I stand staring after the dark blue car with my brow raised. Weirdest afternoon of my life.
